Cover of "Me And Bobby McGee", written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller, whose version reached #12 on the US Country chart and #3 on Canada RPM Country Tracks. Kris Kristofferson released his own version from his album, "Kristofferson" in 1970. Probably the most successful cover was by Janis Joplin. She recorded it in October 1970 just days before her death. It was released on 12 January 1971 from her album, "Pearl". Joplin's version, produced by Paul A. Rothchild topped the charts and it was her only #1 single. It was ranked #148 in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs Of All Time" in 2004. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The song has been recorded by many other artists. My cover recorded 07 September 2024.
